A morning fog lifts over Southampton as a private minivan eases out of the port, the hum of the engine setting the day’s tempo. Windows frame low hedgerows and the chalk downs beyond; by midmorning the city of Bath appears with its honeyed stone and the Avon cutting a green ribbon through Georgian terraces. Travelers move from air-conditioned comfort to paved streets and the echo of footsteps on ancient stone.
